I have read that the Turkish 8mm ammo is dangerous in it. Does anyone have suggestions or experience with these rifles and what works the best in them?

The 1903-A3 I have is all original. It has on the barrel end - RA, and below that an unusual (to me) symbol and then below that 12-43. I take it that means December 1943. Yeah, bums me out about...

Thanks for the info. What do you mean when you say they're a small ring action, standard length with a large ring thread? Not sure I follow you on that.

I've also inherited a Remington 1903-A3 with the serial number in the 4 millons as in 4,1XX,XXX. Can't remember exactly what it is at the moment. Is it safe to shoot?

Here's another picture. It reads 23468.

I have inherited what I feel surely is a Hakim. Although, on the right side of the receiver, where usually is written "HAKIM 7.9mm MADE IN EGYPT", mine has nothing. It does have a muzzle brake on...

So I have a 1903 that I thought had been turned into a sporter. On closer examination of the stock I found a double...

Thanks for the help. Your push lead me to a thread on GunBoards that has some interesting information that I am going to spend some time with. Have really enjoyed learning about this rifle. I will...

Yes, I think the FN 1949 is little used also. Another gun that I inherited from my Dad. He had so many I was not aware of it. Did not realize I was headed into 8mm territory. Not sure I want to...

One more.

Not sure if I'm in the correct subforum or not for this question. If not please move it, moderators.

I have what I believe to be a Egyptian FN 1949. But I am not sure. Can anyone help me learn...

Thanks for the info guys. Sure thing on the pictures.
Got a few questions if anyone can help.

Anyway to accurately date it to date of manufacture?
Did the Poles make it, are is it originally...

Looking for some help. I have what I believe to be a k98 mauser. I'm having trouble identifying it's origin, date of manufacture, history, etc. Searched quite a bit on the internet, but I'm...

Probably best achieved by buying online through sites such as gunbroker.com????
I have never bought a gun online, any advice?

I think I got it. The best I can hope to achieve is a historically accurate, but not a historically authentic carbine. I can track down a correct "serial number range Inland receiver" and use only...

Seems like the consensus here and on another forum, is that it is the real deal, albeit a rebuild. So very happy about that. Guess I can spend some time looking for the correct serial number Inland...

To be honest, really busy day at work and I forgot about the link. Looks like a lot of good info. Will have time in about an hour to really take a look at the link. Thanks for reminding me.

So to be clear and for my knowledge only, since it is a "rebuild", it can't be considered to be an genuine M1A1? Is it because none of the Inlands went in for rebuilding or is it pointless because...

Can you explain "cut down highwood"? Just so I know, what that means. I'm interested in what people think it's worth also. But not from the point of selling it. Just interested. It has a lot of...

Thx. Glad to be here. Sorry I forgot to add a picture of the right side of stock.

I think it's a low wood. Is that...

I have always liked M1 carbines, but never thought to see if there was an online group or forum. So glad I found this site. I recently inherited some gun stuff from my Dad. In it is a couple of M1...

Thanks for the info Jim, Surprisingly I've had some offers to buy it. Got to decide if I'm interested in building it. May be able to find some more parts for it in some old gun junk parts my Dad...

Thanks someone else on another site just told me the same thing. Any idea of its worth?
